Neighboring Bahamian Islands

There are countless nearby slices of paradise worth exploring, each offering its own unique charm, but here are some of the best islands within easy reach:

Paradise Island

Paradise Island sits just offshore from the island of New Providence and is connected to Nassau by two bridges, so it's relatively easy to get to. It offers popular white sand beaches that edge the Atlantic Ocean and a variety of fun water sports, including scuba diving and snorkeling. More importantly, it is home to the renowned Atlantis Resort.

Pearl Island

Located just a short boat ride from the port in Nassau, Pearl Island offers so much fun in the sun for such a tiny island. Snorkel along the coral reef just offshore, and then kayak or paddleboard around the little island, or explore the lighthouse that offers breathtaking views. After all that fun, take a beach break and treat yourself to an oceanfront Bahamian lunch.
